This situation has left Afghanistan&#8217;s proclaimed goals of self-sufficiency and industrialization largely rhetorical.<\/p>\n<p>So far, the Taliban administration has not provided a comprehensive or reliable report on the extent to which these projects have been realized or their impact on the country&#8217;s economy.
